BRACKET FOR CURTAIN-ROLLERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 542,017, dated July 2, 1 895.

Application filed March 26, 1895.

ments in Brackets for- Curtain-Rollers, of

which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying draw! in s.

ihis invention relates to brackets for curtain-rollers, and furthermore to the supports for the brackets, and has for its object the provision of novel means for adjusting the bracket longitudinally of the supports that curtain-rollers of varying lengths maybe used without alteration.

A further object of the invention is the production of brackets and their supports which can be hung and removed in a ready and convenient manner; also, in making them durable and efficient as well as comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts, to be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.

In describing my invention in detail, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, wherein like numerals denote corresponding parts in the severalviews, in which- Figure l is a view, in perspective, of my improved support with the brackets in place. Fig. 2 is a rear view of a section of the support. Fig. 3 is a rear view of one end of the support, showing the manner in which the brackets are adjusted. Fig. 4 is a rear end view, and Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view of the support and brackets.

In the drawings, 1 denotes the bracket-support consisting of duplicate sections with longitudinal slots 2, by which the length of the supports may be regulated. The sections are further provided with slots 3, in which a bolt 4: of the bracket is slidable and whereby the distance between the brackets is varied, and when adjusted the brackets are fixedly serial No. 543,087. (No model.)

secured by nuts 5. Each bracket 6 is pro= vided with inwardly=extending lugs 7 which ride in the slot and in conjunction with the bolt hold the bracket.

On the sections of the holders are secured a metallic band 7, which extends beyond the end thereof, forming a socket 8 to receive the heads of screws or nails which are fixed in the window-casing. A loop 9 is arranged on the sections of the holder, which in conjunction with the bolt 10 slidable in the slot rigidly secures the sections, the bolt 10 being provided with a nut 11 for clamping the sections.

When it is desired to fix the holder in position, the sections are inclined and the sockets placed over the heads of the nails or screws. Thecentral portion is then adjusted until the two sections assume a horizontal position, when the loop is forced on.

The operation of the invention will beap' parent from the foregoing description, and it will be particularlynoted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general idea in volved.

Should the brackets require change of position, the bolt is turned to release its hold and the bracket adjusted along the holder until the proper distance between them has been reached, when they are tightened and made ready for mounting the roller.

Having fully described my inventiomwhat I claim as new, and desire to obtain by Letters Patent, is-

A bracket support for window shades formed in duplicate sections, with end sockets and longitudinal slots to receive a securing bolt to attach the sections in combination with a loop slidable on the support, brackets provided with a base having inturned lugs riding in the slots and bolts for holding the brackets in position, as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
